Earth’s Ozone layer on Track to Recovery – V6 Spot Light

The stratospheric ozone layer, a fragile shield of gas, protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. Without the Montreal Protocol and associated agreements, atmospheric levels of ozone depleting substances could have increased tenfold by 2050.The Phase-out of ozone depleting substances has had a positive spin-off for the global climate because many of these substances are also potent greenhouse gases.The assessment also notes that there are possible approaches to avoiding the harmful climate effects of these substitutes.
